Take Scott Brown, new Republican senator from Massachusetts. For years, he and his family have been enjoying the universal health care package covering all residents of Massachusetts. Brown supported it when he was a member of the Massachusetts Legislature. The legislation passed by Senate Democrats is similar to the Massachusetts plan. Yet Brown now opposes extending this coverage to us.

This kind of hypocrisy is what happens when a party decides to oppose anything the president proposes, whether it is good for America or not.

Remember when Rush Limbaugh was in Hawaii and had chest pains? He went to the hospital there, and praised the medical care he received. Hawaii has universal health care. Now Limbaugh threatens to leave the U.S. if health care reform passes. He says he will go to Costa Rica for health care. Costa Rica has universal health care.

Can this debate get more ridiculous?

Congress now has health care for every member. If it really believes it can’t afford it for us, it should cancel it for themselves, too.
